WordPress Loop - content not appearing

Websites > How to Build a WordPress Theme > WordPress Theme Functions > The WordPress Loop

Copied all the code into the front-page.php and home.php. Refresh the page and all that's there is -

This is the header

This is the front-page.php file

This is the footer

I'm sure I have followed everything to the letter and the loop is not getting seen.

How can I debug this?

What have you written for the loop and have you actually got any posts?
